She's worried about "how an animal dies" so that's why she won't eat meat.Me, on the other hand, I'm always worried if the veggies were grown in sh*t and if they were washed properly.

During the Depression, people out West referred to those things as "Hoover Hogs" , and they were a regular source of meat for a lot of people.

My family knew a guy from Brazil and he said armadillo is a delicacy there. He said they go for about $30/lb. I need to start exporting armadillo to Brazil!!!

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Armadillo is , as far as I know, the only animal other than human that can harbor leprosy. For that reason I have always been somewhat cautious in any thoughts of using it as a food source.

I have Mexican friends who raise Guinea pigs for food. When I had a couple of them as pets (Guinea pigs, not Mexicans), they commented that they were fat enough for grilling. I told them if my pigs came up missing one day, I knew where to look first.

That was Mr. Ho's. It was on the corner of University and Greensboro. They had the best egg rolls with little tiny bits of red meat. I used to get a big bag of those for the band to eat when we played at Rubins which was on the same block. After they were reported for having cat in the meat locker, the egg rolls changed and were not as good. Later they were caught again and shut down. The excuse was that they were only preparing cat for the employees but not selling it to the public any more.

They checked them all out after that. I doubt that you could get a good plate of cat any more. LOL not that I wanted it.

I had a friend when I was in college that every so often would get a hankering for Alpo dog food. At that time it was horse meat. I tried it and it actually was pretty good, couldn't tell it from canned beef . During the early 70's (I believe) , a lot of older people took to eating canned dog food because the cost of food went way up. The government decided to put something in canned dog food at that time to make it smell bad to humans, so that these old people would not be eating it.
